sfrangu said:Thanks Leftwood..... From its name, does it mean that it was suppose to have some kind of fragrance?


Not sure. Most likely it refers to the flower fragrance, but it instead might describe the sap or fruit being scented. Incidentally, the Latin epithet does necessarily mean the odor is good ... Whistling (But... if I remember right, it is.) The plant rarely flowers as a houseplant.
